Jeremiah 28:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 28:12

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the ^ayoke off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.

11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ^afrom the neck of all nations within the space of two full years.’ ” And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

13 “Go and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron.”

14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^a“I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. ^bI have given him the beasts of the field also.” ’ ”

15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, but ^ayou make this people trust in a ^blie.

16 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall ^adie, because you have taught ^brebellion against the Lord.’ ”

17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
